An ideal gas is taken through an isothermal process. If it does 2000 J of work on its environment, how much heat is added to it?

Unpolarized light with intensity I₀ is incident on two polaroids. The axis of the first polaroid makes on the angle of 50° with the vertical, and the axis of the second polaroid is horizontal. What is the intensity of the light after it has passed through the second polaroid?

A sound wave in a certain fluid medium is reflected at an obstacle to form a standing wave. The distance between two successive nodes is 3.75 cm. If the velocity of sound is 1500 m/s, find the frequency.

Two sound waves travel at a speed of 330 m/s. If their frequencies are also identical and are equal to 540 Hz, what will be the phase difference between the waves at points 3.5 m from one source and 3 m from the other if the sources are in phase?

A pipe closed at one end can produce overtones at frequencies 640 Hz, 896 Hz, and 1152 Hz. Calculate the fundamental frequency.

Find the fundamental, first overtone, and second overtone frequencies of a pipe, open at both the ends, of length 25 cm if the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s.

A pipe open at both the ends has a fundamental frequency of 600 Hz. The first overtone of a pipe closed at one end has the same frequency as the first overtone of the open pipe. How long are the two pipes?

(Given: v = 330 m/s)

A string 1m long is fixed at one end. The other end is moved up and down with frequency of 15 Hz. Due to this, a stationary wave with four complete loops gets produced on the string. Find the speed of the progressive wave which produces the stationary wave.
[Hint: Remember that the moving end is an antinode.]

A violin string vibrates with fundamental frequency of 440Hz. What are the frequencies of the first and second overtones?

A set of 8 tuning forks is arranged in a series of increasing order of frequencies. Each fork gives 4 beats per second with the next one and the frequency of last fork is twice that of the first. Calculate the frequencies of the first and the last fork.
